So, you don't plug your Hybrids in at all?
I have heard the Prius gets relatively poor mileage until the engine warms up.
During this warmup time, it gets about 35 to 40 miles per gallon. If your
driving consists of purely short, say five mile, trips - you will not get 50
miles per gallon.
You can also get less than 50 miles per gallon by driving very fast, over 73
miles per hour. Obviously, if you drive very aggressively the mileage will also
suffer.
What about a hilly area does it get 50 miles per gallon?
I have a Tesla model 3 and I get on average 260Wh/mile. I drove from Alabama
to New Orleans 435 miles and it cost me 38.46 on Tesla Superchargers. 8.8 cents
a mile. But like others have said it is only the second long trip and I have
had the car for over a year. Most of the time I charge in the garage at 10
cents a KWh.

Hi folks
It seems that it's cheaper for taking long road trips to buy a Prius Prime vs a
pricier Tesla or Bolt with a 60kwh battery pack and pay an average of 28c per
kWh average on the road at level 3 fast charging stations. We have shorter
range cheaper EVs (Spark bought 1 year old for $14k and Leaf $9.2k). At $3 a
gallon/50 = 6c per mile and at 28c per kWh / 4 (ac meas)= 7c per mile in a long
range EV (also have to pay $40k for the car with the 60kwh or so battery pack).
Maybe it's better for the environment to drive a long range EV but for your
wallet the Prius Prime and a shorter range EV for 90% miles local trips makes
more sense.
Have a renewable energy day,
Mark
